There will definitely be tickets in the on-sales on saturday, just don't throw seats back though. Your first pull may be your only pull. It will be a hot ticket on the secondary market, but will also be bought heavily so I imagine a week or so after the on-sale prices will come down a little, but I think the week of the show prices could get really hot again

they definitely released more tickets. I could just never fill my basket. here's the new message:

I don't think they released more. I was getting the same error message at 7:50. Once I got a screen to add tickets and I threw in 3. Said they didn't have that many. I might have gotten thru if I'd said 1.

got 4 GA for both Austin and Houston. feel like hammered $#@!, staying up all night, so I guess I 'earned' them. given that it was less than 10% of the venue's tickets being made available... I'm glad they don't announce the time for the band's tickets going on sale. hope shaggy folks get what they need this weekend.

I got seats because seeing shows on the floor with my wife drives me crazy since I worry about her being able to see. It drives me $#@!ing nuts and I can't help it -- even though she says "she's fine". Therefore, reserved seating to ease my mind. Plus, Radiohead fanbois seem like they would be incorrigible at ground zero.

Eddie Money was exactly spot on when he said this:

I got waste pit tix in 2001 and 2008 for the shows at the Woodlands. It was actually not very cramped and there was quite a bit of space to hang in the back if you didn't want to be up with everyone. 2001 was $#@!ing great because folks didn't really hold up the phones like they did in 2008, but I have no issue telling someone to put their phone down that's in front of me.

There are some details you need to know, including that there’s a four-ticket limit and other things that seem to be an effort to curb scalping. From the Erwin Center:
— There will be a four ticket limit. Any tickets purchased by phone or Internet above the limit, based on mailing address, email address, phone number or credit card, will be canceled immediately.
— All floor and select arena sections closest to the stage will be restricted to night of show will call only.
— Ticket buyers will pick up their tickets with their entire group and be escorted directly into the building to have their tickets scanned and receive a wristband.
— Only those with the wristband and the proper ticket will be allowed access to the floor and two sections closest to the stage.
— All ticketholders restricted to night of show will call only will enter the building at approximately 6 p.m. Doors will open for all other ticketholders at approximately 6:30 p.m.

This is an amazing pain in the ass for parents or when you lose your CC... many states are currently debating the legality of tickets not being 'transferrable,' and ultimately I think arenas that were built with public dollars will no longer handle tickets in this fashion... general attitude being that the tax payers built the stadium they can therefore do whatever the $#@! they want with the tickets, they belong to the purchaser not the artist

You forgot to add the only part you really give a $#@! about...that this has the potential to put you out of business.

The fire relief concert was set up the same way as the diagram above. We were halfway back in section 5 & it felt like we were still insanely close. So for those of you wondering about your seats, if it's set up the same way, I think you're gonna be pleasantly surprised. You could probably toss a baseball from the stage & hit the front of section 44.

That's a pretty ignorant statement because our business is about 10% concert tickets, secondly we love this $#@!... its the amateurs that can't buy an extra two and flood stubhub, the lack of inventory on the market for the premium seats drives prices up and unlike the soccer mom or college kid trying to make a quick buck we aren't dependent on stubhub to sell our tickets.

Okay, so putting you out of business was a little strong, but it has to hurt your bottom line and takes away what I would imagine would be some of the biggest money making concert tickets for you.

So let me see if I understand this correctly...Floor/Club seats in Houston will be Flash Seats only and non-transferrable. The non-Floor/non-Club seats are regular tickets and will be transferrable? Is that right? So if I get floor/club seats tomorrow, I'll need to provide the names of everyone I'm getting tickets for and then there's no way to transfer those if someone can't make it? Is there a limit of 4 tickets for the Houston show as well?

Man I hope so. I'm going to have the iPad with the LiveNation app and the Mac going with the Ticketmaster website to see what I can pull. Then I have to complete that sale and move over to the Texas Box Office site to get my single ticket for the Austin show.

I've never had to provide the names of people I'm bringing in to the show. the cardholder goes in and they let three people in with them. now, if you're trying to "sell" a pair to somebody and have them come separately... I'm not sure if they have to go in at the same time with you, or they would just need your name. but still, I'd imagine the cardholder would have to have gone in first to validate the transaction.
